Five for Five: Listening



Listening to your three rambunctious children

shouting their goodnight's and love you's,

whispering in bed instead of sleeping,

the sounds of their cascading giggles,

is a beautiful lullaby for mothers,

and one I would not trade

for any golden treasure on Earth.

  1. This reminds me of sleepovers. I just love listening to my kids giggling and plotting with their little friends!

  3. When my girls would do this and I would feign irritation at their not yet being asleep, I would ask the old standby "Do you want me to come in there?" Silly girls didn't know they weren't supposed to say yes.

  6. Sometimes I listen In and catch a snippet of more than just giggles. When they are tired and vulnerable and oak with sharing their love for each other. These are the sweetest moments. Brothers!!
